Part of Series
Mr Pinkerton discovers that murder takes no holiday! That timid detective manqué, Evan Pinkerton, is in Brighton for the first time in fifteen years to enjoy the seashore. What he gets is foul weather—and foul play at the Royal Pavilion, where someone, probably part of her household sticks a knife in the odious, yet very wealthy, Mrs. Isom. Coincidentally Inspector Bull is in Brighton at the time the murder takes place. Once he finds out what “take it on the lam” means, Mr. Pinkerton takes it, loses his clothes, and finally has to admit he was on the scene when the murder took place. —— Title also published as The Guilt Is Plain
